Overview
Mission
Education - to provide holistic, nature-based education to a diverse group of children of all ages, as well as families.
What it reported doing in 2025
Family day - provided 44 families with holistic, nature based, programming for one or two 10 week sessions. Adults and children participate together to explore the natural environment, explore hands-on activities and learn about the ecosystem and the farm. Grants totaling 5,410 were received for family day expenses.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
